Should Vittoria Open Corsa Graphene 23C be suitable for slightly gritty roads and wet weather? Rode with friend through the rain on Saturday around Surrey Hills. He got two rear punctures from tiny sharp pieces of gravel but on the third time in the first 15K the tube exploded and tore through the tyre - I had to go buy him a Conti 4 season so we could complete the ride. He's 77KG. They feel pretty thin and soft - is this normal or bad luck? We do think he might have been over-inflating due to dodgy gauge on pump.
